No Second Term for Hichilema, Says M’MembeSocialist Party president Dr Fred M’membe has accused President Hakainde Hichilema of attempting to extend his rule through the controversial Constitution (Amendment) Bill No. Speaking on the Socialist Hour programme on Hot FM, Dr M’membe said the government’s push to revive the bill was designed to secure Hichilema’s second term by altering constitutional provisions that govern next year’s general elections. “Bill 7 is about the political preservation of Hichilema, securing his second term in a manner that is not highly contested,” he said. The Constitutional Court had earlier declared the bill illegal, ruling that its foundation lacked meaningful stakeholder engagement. Dr M’membe said the president’s insistence on bringing back the bill showed a disregard for public sentiment and judicial authority.
